I'm going to assume that "by following nature's models" the question is referencing the sort of thing that the political thinker John Locke called "the state of nature." Locke believed that human beings, in their natural state, can live reasonably successful lives with one another. They would be following "nature's model" in the sense of living like a community of apes or other social animals, without needing any formal government. However, Locke also believed that we can improve life together as a society if we construct governments that accentuate the positives and police the negatives.

Think of it this way: A bunch of kids on a playground can have a pretty decent game of basketball without having an official rule book or a referee. But the quality of the game can be improved even more with official rules and someone to officiate those rules. Plus, then you won't get into some endless argument over whether this (or that) was (or wasn't) a foul. The referee (the government) makes the call.

So while a sort of "state of nature" model can be workable, to a degree, most political thinkers (like Locke) have thought that planning how we will live together in an organized way is a better approach.

(We'll leave the dedicated anarchists out of the picture for now -- that would be a different question!)

the captain of a steam ship naturally chooses the shortest route to his destination. since a sailing ship is usually pushed by winds and currents, its captain must find a route where the wind will probably blow in the right direction. tacking, i.e. using contrary wind to pull (sic) the sails, was always possible but wasted time because of the zigzagging required, and this would significantly delay long voyages. the early european explorers were not only looking for new lands. they also had to discover the pattern of winds and currents that would carry them where they wanted to go. during the age of sail winds and currents determined trade routes and therefore influenced european imperialism and modern political geography. for an outline to the main wind systems see global wind patterns.

pilotage or cabotage, in one sense, is the art of sailing along the coast using known landmarks. navigation, in one sense, is the art of sailing long distances out of sight of land.[1] although the polynesians were able to sail the pacific (with great difficulty) and people regularly sailed north and south across the mediterranean, before the time of columbus nearly all sailing was coastal pilotage
